Turn one of Thailand's most famous desserts into a fiber-rich breakfast!
If you have just 25 minutes, you can whip up a delicious, fiber-rich breakfast inspired by the flavors of Thailand’s beloved mango sticky rice. These creamy, sticky oats are topped with a luscious coconut sauce and fresh mango, creating a perfect balance of richness and brightness. It’s a versatile dish that works beautifully as both breakfast and dessert, and it stores well, making it a great option for meal prep.
Mango sticky rice, or khao niao mamuang, is traditionally made with glutinous rice and palm sugar. In this oatmeal version, the main swap is replacing the sticky rice with oats, which boosts the dish’s fiber and protein content. I enjoy both versions, but I often find myself reaching for the oatmeal variation. It’s quicker to make and includes that fiber and protein boost.
The oatmeal is easily customizable. You can use fresh or frozen mango, adjust the sweetness to your liking, or even add additional toppings if you want more from the dish. I like the oatmeal warm but you can also enjoy it straight from the fridge without heating it up. Whether you prefer it warm and cozy or chilled straight from the fridge, it’s a dish that fits seamlessly into your routine.
